"AMERICANS IN DANGER ARE VULNERABLE TO DICTATORSHIP"

Courtesy of The Smirking Chimp:

The "man on horseback" mentality, the belief that a leader's strength is more important than where it leads them, defines a population that is vulnerable to dictatorship.

This is not to call Bush a dictator or suggest that he wants to be one. But let no one believe that it couldn't happen here, as has happened so often elsewhere.

It has happened here, and by the design of better statesmen than Bush.
